From the transcript
If the Division lacked the authority to investigate one candidate's good faith in claiming residency, what gives it authority to investigate another candidate's motives for filing? If the Division could not independently determine a candidate's future intent to reside in Alaska in 2024, how can it independently determine a candidate's subjective intent to seek office in 2026? If disputed questions belonged in court 2 years ago, why do they belong within the division today? These are not partisan questions. I would ask the same questions if the candidate being removed were a Democrat, an independent, or a member of any other party.
